Christmas Menu
Right now I think the plan is to go with a couple of tenderloins and a crown roast. Sides are asparagus, twice baked potatoes, walnut cranberry salad and then assorted appetizers and desserts.
That being said, I am pushing my mom to replace the crown roast with a turducken .

Indeed Sirs, 37 is a good year...Any year!!! 
But back to the topic at hand, it will be very cold here in my AO at Christmas-time, and grilling is always fun when it is cold! Am curious if anyone else plans to grill their Christmas-time meats or veggies, or...?  mmmmmmmmm tasty!

My dad re-married into a Polish/Italian family to contrast our mostly Irish side. There's always a minimum of two types of homemade kielbasa (and sometimes a third from a local butcher) in addition to multitudes of good wine. And that's just to keep us satiated before dinner starts.
Without giving away the secret recipe, what type of kielbasa do you usually serve/prefer? Pork or beef? Smoked or non?

Holly,
My mom taught me growing up in the northeastern part of the country that six inches of snow and single-digit temps were no excuse not to have a true grilled steak. Using charcoal and wood, not a quick-start propane grill. She's a traditionalist, and to this day we still try to have a steak and potato dinner the day after Christmas.
I've dined in many steak houses across the country, and none can touch what my mom puts out on a snowy back porch in winter.

I never had the chance to see the recipe, so no secrets to give away here.
I prefer unsmoked pork kielbasa. They finely chop the meat instead of putting it through the grinder.
My uncle, on occasion, has smoked some of this kielbasa and it was outstanding - he built his own smokehouse and gets the wood from his orchard. Otherwise, I typically don't go for the smoked stuff.

I love the unsmoked pork kielbasa. My grandfather was a butcher in Brooklyn til he retired, I remember him coming into the kitchen (butcher shop next door) with some he just made. My dad had the reciepe but I never got it before they both past. I'm don't know what my wife and DIL have planned.

Losing those recipes when relatives pass away is tough. My grandmother made these huge yeast rolls. Huge and light. Damn they were good; could smell them baking a block away. She didn't really have a recipe; she had done so much baking that it wasn't just a recipe, but the way she worked the dough that made the rolls. Mom and all of my aunts never learned grandma's baking skills. Of course, Grandma never had a drivers license and stayed home to raise 7 kids; Mom worked 50 hours a week.
